Method for fabricating semiconductor device having titanium silicide film
In a method for producing a semiconductor device disclosed herein, a titanium film (131) is formed on a silicon layer and a titanium disilicide film (134) of a C49 structure is formed by the first rapid thermal annealing, followed by removing a titanium nitride film (132). The titanium disilicide film (134) thus formed is then subjected to phase transition to form titanium disilicide film (135a) of a C54 structure, and the titanium-excess titanium silicide film (133) is selectively removed by the second wet etching.
